- Politicians undergoing vice presidential vetting often face extensive scrutiny to prepare for media examination, highlighting past examples like Herschel Walker and John Edwards who had hidden children.
Yeah, that’s a weird thing to make a press release about. Who tells the press that they were asked if they have a secret family? And why is the weird part, according to him, of this that he was asked with his wife present? I think the weirdest part of all this is that they thought that was weird. But actually, this whole thing is weird. Something about this is off. Weird af 😬
I mean it is sensible for them to ask about it. It is maybe a little foolish of them to do it in front of his wife.
The truly hilarious part about it is that he is so stupid that he thinks (a) it’s something unusual or personal to him, instead of just vetting of candidates like they always do (b) he thinks talking to the media about it is a productive way to react to that perceived unusualness.
All I can do is look upon the GOP and smile and encourage. “Good… good… let the stupidity and incompetence flow through you.”
My “I don’t have a secret family” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt.
Who tells the press?
A guy who wants his secret wife to find out from the press why he’s not keeping tonight’s secret date, since he can’t call or text her.
